PopSugar Must Have
boxes are like a Christmas stocking in a box every month. I had already seen
previous reviews and was really excited when it arrived. I had been stalking my
mailbox for days.
PopSugar Must Have is
a monthly subscription box of hand-selected items in beauty, fashion, home,
fitness, and food. It's not a box of sample items. I love the variety . . .it's
not just make-up or food or whatever. Everything is full-sized. Price is $39.95 per
month, and they have 3-, 6-, and 12-month plans that lower the effective
monthly box. Seems that almost every month there is a $10OFF code that can be
found on-line. So, you could un-subscribe and subscribe on a regular basis to
get the best deal, while not missing out. They also offer single-purchase
premium boxes at different times of the year.
I had seen some reviews that had problems with the packaging and items arriving damaged. I will admit that last month, I thought the packing was a little loose and could tell there had been some contents shifting. This month, everything was perfect. I really do like that they include a brochure with a description of the items. So, let's get started.
Must Have Fashion: BlueAvocado
(Eco) Shopper: Leave it to Lauren Conrad to make reusable bags chic. She joined
forces with BlueAvocado to design an (eco) Shopper bag that is perfect for
carrying just about anything. The collapsible tote is made from upcycled
plastic bottles and folds neatly into a wallet-sized pouch. If this doesn't
give you an excuse to go shopping, we don't know what will. Suggested retail
$25. I really like it. Maybe not my favorite color scheme, but cute pattern. It
folds and zips compactly. I usually carry a relatively small purse, and it
fits. I love that the "outside" when zipped up makes a flat surface
for the bag when opened. 
Must Have Beauty: TooFaced Natural Eyes: If you love the natural look (I do), then this Too Faced
Natural Eyes palette will be your new addiction. With nine different shades,
there is a color for every age and skin tone. Don't worry if you're not a
makeup pro; there's a Glamour Guide that will teach you the ropes. Go ahead and
show the world just how naturally beautiful you are! Suggested retail $36. I am
not a make-up guru by any stretch of the imagination. I really like the metal
case and the colors are great neutrals. The shadows feel soft and silky. And
the guide has 3 different looks and instructions, which I need. 
Must Have Home:
Graphic Image Pocket Notes: Who runs the world? You do! With this Graphic Image
notebook designed exclusively for POPSUGAR, you can remember all the important
stuff to conquer the world. This isn't your average notebook, either-with silver
edges, acid-free paper, and a flexible cover, it's the smart and stylish way to
keep you life in order. Suggested retail $20. It is a lovely notebook, and as a
runner . . .I love the title. However, I am going to gift to a friend because
the leather cover doesn't fit my vegan lifestyle. I think it will be a hit.
Must Have Home:
Caldrea Rosewater Driftwood Hand Soap: Slip into a dreamy oasis with this
Rosewater Driftwood hand soap from Caldrea. The combination of floral aromas
and spicy cedar undertones creates a subtly divine experience. we believe what
goes onto your body is just as important at what goes into it. That's why this
gentle yet hardworking soap is free of any harmful chemicals. Suggested retail
$10.50. I LOVE IT. It smells absolutely divine. It is plant-based and biodegradable.
No animal testing. The Plastic bottle is partially made from recycled plastic and is recyclable.
Must Have Home: FreshPastry Stand Totally Awesome Tea Towel Set: Revamp your dish towel collection
with Fresh Pastry Stand's Totally Awesome tea towel set. Handmade from a
water-based ink and completely lint-free, these graphic towels totally live up
to their name. Keep them for yourself, or step up your gift giving game at your
next housewarming soirée. Suggested retail $18. TOTALLY AWESOME!! I love them.
They are thin and seem delicate, but I love the graphics. I won't be gifting. 
Must Have Food: NatureBox Popsugar Must Have Mix: NO artificial Flavors. No artifical colors. NO corn syrup. and NO hydrogenated oils. YES please! NatureBox teamed up with with Lisa Sugar to design this custom snack mix especially for POPSUGAR Must Have. Enjoy the balanced medley of almonds, soybeans, corn, and cranberries for a satisfying crunch. Grab a handful (or two) with no regrets! Suggested retail $5. YES, PLEASE!!! I really, really like these. There are 4.5 servings in a bag at 130 calories per serving. I was good and didn't eat them all at once, but I'm not sure I limited myself to serving sizes. So at 585 calories per bag, still not too bad. I love plant based snacks because they are filling and I don't eat the bag all at once. Included is a code for 50% your first box when you sign up for a subscription to NatureBox. Normally $19.95 per month, and the first is discounted with special snacks for POPSUGAR Must Have. 5 bags per monthly box. I think I'll be signing up. YUM!!!
Overall, I'm pretty
stoked about this subscription. I paid $89.95 for a 3-month subscription (which
will auto-renew at $99.95) if I don't cancel and re-subscribe. That comes to
about $33.32/box. And, since you know I like a bargain, I was pleased that the
box contained $114.50 worth of items.
I can hardly wait to
see what May has in store.
